Summer bloodmobile set July 14 in Alton

Saturday

ALTON — Alton's Summer Red Cross Blood Drive will be held on Monday, July 14 at Prospect Mountain High School in Alton. The Blood Drive will run from 2-7 p.m. with scheduled appointments from 2-5 p.m.

In an effort to make the blood donation process more efficient and minimize donor waiting times we are trying an appointment system for the first three hours.

Donors can contact Ann Norman-Burke at 875-5492 to schedule appointments. Walkins are welcome from 5-7 p.m. Each presenting donor will receive a Red Sox Nation/Red Cross T-shirt. The Blood Drive is sponsored by Sydow's Auto Service Center at 267-1100.

Eligible donors are at least 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds, are in good health on the day of donation, have no history of exposure to hepatitis or AIDS, and your last blood donation was at least 8 weeks ago.
